    This is not a planned visit but we were in the area and got hungry. We wanted Mexican food so of course I'm searching on Yelp and decided on this place in based on the reviews. It did not disappoint: We ordered at the counter and waited for our take out. We could have dined in because they have a good size seating area but we felt like eating at home this time. The service was good and they were fairly quick with our food. What we ordered: - Three types of tacos (carnitas, pollo, and al pastor) - Quesabirria tacos with consume - Chicken Burrito Everything was packed well and the food was delicious. We would definitely recommend and would for sure go back.

    Birria

    Hands down the best Mexican spot in Central Jersey. I've had a bunch and as far as quality vs quantity goes, Edison Tex Mex Deli has both. We stopped by on Labor Day as I wanted to bring my family here. Twice, I've had tacos de lengua (tongue), carnitas (fried pork) and al pastor (pork with pineapples) and its pretty much the best tacos I've ever had. The tongue has a flavorful yet soft texture and is one of my favorites. My wife had the birria and they were able to 86 the cilantro since she's not a fan. My mother, whose a big fan of chipotle was completely defeated by the portion if the burrito bowls here. The homemade, attention to detail quality here is top notch and definitely overshadows the larger chain restaurants. We were able to down it with some bottled mexican coke. Parking isn't amazing, but they have a small lot on one side and street parking on the other. Bathrooms are clean and this is a very popular lunch spot for the locals. Pro tip: Eat in! Everything is amazing fresh. I wouldn't imagine the taco shells traveling too well.

    So much food for a reasonable price. Everything was fresh and tasty but I don't recommend the chicharrones because they were dry. Great place though!

    Steak Burrito
    Joseph F.

    Authentic Mexican food that never disappoints and all at a reasonable price. The restaurant layout is cafeteria style. You order at the counter and there is lots of seating (and lots of somewhat awkward empty space with house plants). The service is quick and it looks like lots of folks order takeout or pickup. The birria tacos were delicious: tender meat and flavorful birria stew. The steak burrito was massive for the price (a bit heavy on the rice).

    Happy to support this local business especially because they're supporting my son's football team fundraiser. Go Edison Eagles!

    I went here for the second time in a span of two weeks. I was drawn in by the quesabirria- which is if birria tacos and quesadillas had a baby ... yes.. YUM! When I brought the quesabirria back to work I drew a lot of attention and promised I'd gladly go back with two of my colleagues the following week. The quesabirria is huge!! It's about $16 which is a lot for a quesadilla but this thing is packed with delicious flavorful beef, the outside is so buttery and crisp, and it's... HUGE! It comes in a large pizza box and fills up most of the space inside. I had intended to order something different my second time around but this was just calling my name, I couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of not having it while someone else did! It also comes with two spicy sauces- my favorite is the green sauce. I also got chips and guacamole the second time around and the guac was just perfect! I like some chunks in guacamole and they delivered, it was also very fresh. The dining area is spacious, the staff is very friendly. The lady (maybe the owner?) who rung us up today told us their food is best when you eat it there, so that is something to keep in mind. Our office is about 15 mins away and the food still tasted great and fresh when we got there, but of course nothing beats fresh from the oven- so one day I will definitely try it, and if you can, order and dine in so you can also eat the food as the chefs intend it to be!

    Taco de Carnitas
    Ashley M.

    The food was fresh, quick, and there has got to be a secret menu. I started off the meal with Jamaica. It wasn't too sweet and was the perfect refreshing drink for the dull afternoon. I went straight for the al pastor, carnitas, and a special pork taco with grilled onions. I really enjoyed the first two, but the third just didn't hit. The cuts of meat used in the special pork taco wasn't it. Pork can get dry if cooked too long and I think that is what happened. While I was waiting, I saw this man eating what looked like Barria Ramen. I looked all around the restaurant for anything that said "ramen", but couldn't find it. I am intrigued and what to go back for it because it looked delicious.

    Always passed by, but have never stopped by this place until today. Upon coming in, the interior is very clean and simple with Mexican style decor. There are multiple menus and a lot of variety of typical dishes. I knew I wanted to get some type of taco, I ordered the legua tacos & the stomach soup. My husband ordered another dish that came with meat, rice, beans, veggies. Tacos came in fast and shortly after so did the rest of the food. All the food was delicious and very authentic! I also ordered additional legua tacos, pastor tacos, & another taco that the gentleman at the cashier recommended that was popular. Those orders are in my fridge and I will finish this weekend. It's 10pm and I'm still full from those dishes so we are satisfied. There's parking in the back and entrance there so you don't have to walk around the building.

    Quesabirria
    Kathy M.

    All the food we would order is spot on, but what stood out is their quesabirria-- which I think is off menu. We've had their steak burrito, birria tacos, quesadilla and chicken tacos--5 stars for food. Flavorful and spiced just right. Their quesabirria has a kick to it, meat and spices heated up to a great crunch, served with Birria consommé and other salsas. Served in a pizza box! What made me take off a star is we ordered from this place twice and both times we had to wait another 30 minutes to get our food. Both times when we called, they said the food would we really in 45 mins. We timed our drive and drove 25 minutes away only to wait for another 30 minutes and then drive home afterwards, which really was a bummer time-wise.

    I'd never even heard of a birria taco until my greedy buzzard (in a loving way) hubby came across it on Tic Toc, of all places... He was on a mission to find a great one, and a great one he did find! Wow. This was such a treat! The birria taco platter came with 3 perfectly sized, perfectly fried tacos.. piled high with deliciously juicified pulled pork. Since I'm a little shy with how much meat I can take, so I had to take some off.. but my husband was happy to assist in that area. I made sure not to give him much of the onion and cilantro that completed every bite. Now... of course... a birria taco is not one without the dipping "sauce" that I liken to an au jus? This was a gem of a meal... and I can't wait to return and bring some fellow greedy buzzards along.

    This spot is a must visit! From the moment you walk in, the colorful and authentic decor makes you…read morefeel like you are in a Latin American or country. I've been here a couple months ago, and it's wild to see how much it has grown in popularity. The last few times we have visited, it has been packed or overflowing with customers. A good sign, if you ask me! The tacos are uniquely curated and not your typical selection. I had a Smashburger taco, because I love ground beef, and also a delicious shrimp taco. Any one you get, it is tasty, fresh, prepared right in front of your eyes, and my best of all- so colorful! There is a salsa/sauce/lime bar, which is constantly refilled and has plenty of to-go cups and boxes. I cannot recommend the Agua de Horchata drink enough. When I see Horchata on a menu, I automatically gravitate towards it. Here, the drink is not too thick or overwhelming in flavor. It is nicely balanced with the cinnamon and milky tastes. If you get the 16 oz, the drink comes in a cute square shaped cup. Love this taco joint and coming by every so often to see what is new on the menu and how well they are doing. There is plenty of parking in the plaza lot. If you are in the area, I highly recommend. Definitely worth a shot!

It's a curse because everything is so effing delicious and it's so far from my home! One of my daughters recommended Taco Empreso as she is a regular customer. She even spotted my nephew eating here one evening, who came all the way from Brooklyn lol. So there were three of us, who ordered an assortment of items to share. Let's start with the tacos... We ordered the Baja shrimp, Baja fish, steak, birria, asado chicken and shrimp Ensenada. Every single taco was finger licking with distinct flavors that were sooo sooo good. I could not decide on a favorite. We also shared birria fries, which were AWESOME! If I ever return... you know the rest lol. The meat was juicy, flavorful and melted in my mouth. The marinaded chicken and beef were succulent and the flavors subtly stood out. We also ordered a steak burrito, which was Cali-style with fries instead of rice. The steak was flavored, tender, and crave-able. A popular must have! We added a birria quesadilla, which was also epic. Lastly, the frozen pina coladas! Get it! The food is road trip worthy! Finally, there was a consistent line, but these dudes were so organized. The orders were getting out in a timely manner. It's also worth the wait!!!

You definitely have to circle around a few times to get a spot. When we went on a Tuesday night as a group of 3, although it was busy inside, we were seated immediately. It was busy and loud inside but we still were able to talk and hear each other without yelling. Our server Michael was great and super attentive. He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. Tuesdays are half off on tacos so I decided to order 4 tacos: the chicken tinga, al pastor, chorizo and potato, and the carne asada. I wanted to get 4 different tacos that I've never tried before and this was the perfect option since it was half off. This was an amazing idea because the portion size was huge and everything was so good. I was surprised by how much I liked the chorizo and potato taco because I don't usually get chorizo but I will definitely get it again. After eating we were too full to get dessert, but I would definitely like to try a dessert next time!
